Chapter Five: Lunch Date

Stepping out of the crowed bus, Rin was greeted with loud obnoxious venders and a hot merciless sun. Looking down at the sheet in her hand, she moved forward, up the steep hill; Ah-Un tucked safely in her arms.

Rin groaned in exhaustion. She had passed many trees, turned many turns, glared at cozy looking homes that weren't her destination, muttered profanities at the air condition filled houses that were nestled securely on the slope, and finally she came to a halt at a large rope that traveled up to a huge mansion. Tempted to pull it and curious to see who lived there, Rin only sighed and moved on. Keep going she thought.

Her scream was sharp and long. Hopping up and down, turning around, signing out of tune, Rin rushed towards the familiar pictured house; tugging her bags behind her.

"Ah-Un, we made it!!" Opening the door, she stepped inside, a deep frown washing away her happy grin. "Wh-Where… Where's all the furniture!?!" She moved around the house. "Where's the rest of the house?! Ah-Un it's not even finished!!" She walked into the master bedroom and dropped on the only futon in the house, exhaling an exasperated sigh. "Not even finished." Just then her stomach decided it was time to be noticed.

Pressing a hand to her grumbling tummy, Rin frowned, glancing over at Ah-Un. "We need something to eat. You stay here and watch the bags while I get us some food okay?" She nodded then, pushing to her feet and rushing out the door.

Moments later, she was stuffing ramen noodle packets under her blouse, glancing nervously at the talkative cashier. Suddenly an idea struck her.

Gathering all that she wanted, Rin placed the large basket in front of the cashier, smiling genuinely.

"Ma'am, how will you be paying?" The old man asked

"Oh put it on my husband's card. Takahashi, Sesshomaru." She replied and the cashier beamed.

"Takahashi is your husband, you say?? So he finally settled down huh? Well good for him good for him indeed. Yes Miss I will most certainly put every penny on his card and don't you hesitate to come back alright; you have a good day now."

She nodded walking off with her load of food.

Exhaling a loud sigh, Rin started back up the hill.

"Excuse me."

Rin turned, coming face to face with a beautiful woman. "Yes?"

"I was in the store earlier and overheard you I'm sorry to seem so nosy and forward but- did you say Takahashi, Sesshomaru is your husband?"

"Huh?- Oooh!! Yeah, yeah. Yea- no he's not my husband… YET. He's not my husband yet. We are engaged to be married."

"Oh whe-"

"I'm sorry but who are you?"

"Kagura. I'm uh... I'm a friend of Sesshomaru's. He nev-"

"Oooh. Kagura huh, yeah yeah he's mentioned you once-"

"Just once?" Kagura interjected, both surprised and annoyed at this strange woman.

"Or twice… I'm sure. It's nice to meet you though. Sesshomaru is great isn't he." Rin didn't wait for an answer but continued "I mean... I just look into his eyes and I fall deeper in love with the guy.. I mean… who wouldn't want to marry such a great man right?- Hey! Where's the best restaurant around here?" Rin changed the subject so fast it took Kagura a moment to realize it was her turn to talk.

"Uhm.. Well I guess L-"

"Great! That sounds perfect."

"For what?"

"For lunch tomorrow, silly. You're taking me there."

Kagura stared her down. "Uh."

"That's okay isn't it? I mean Sesshomaru won't be back for a bit and I'm.. Lonely in that big old house… Please?"

Exhaling a defeated sigh, Kagura simply nodded. "Uh.. Sure."

"Great! It's a date, see you right here at eleven tomorrow." And with that said Rin turned on her heels and walked off; whistling.
